Exegesis
The first clause, vayotse oto hachutsah {וַיּוֹצֵא אֹתוֹ הַח֗וּצָה | way-yô-ṣēʾ ʾō-tô ha-ḥū-ṣāh} ‘and he brought him outside’, shifts the scene from an inner setting to the open space, preparing for a visual sign.
In context — Genesis 15:5
And He brought him outside and said, "Look now toward the heavens , and count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then He said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
